Printing a file from my node app

Hi,

In my application I want to print a file from dropbox using my node application. Based on some parameters i want to add a watermark to the file i get from dropbox and then print it. So is there a way to get this file as a inputstream or something where i can add the watermark. or is there any feature that supports this/

 

const access_token = accessUser.dropboxAccessToken;
var dbx = new Dropbox({ accessToken: access_token });
 
    if (ext=='docx' ||ext=='doc' ){
      const docx = officegen('docx');

      docx.on('finalize', function (written) {
        console.log('Finished writing to Word document');
      });
   
      docx.on('error', function (err) {
        console.log(err);
      });
   
      const pObj = docx.createP();
      pObj.addText(watermarkText, {
        font_face: 'Arial',
        bold: true,
        font_size: 24,
        color: 'eeeeee'
      });
   // input stream is the read stream?
outputstream is the write stream
      inputStream.pipe(docx).pipe(outputStream);
    }

    Further, I enable the user the viewing and editing features in my app. Please help me in that as well.

    Tshaniii Yes, as Samuel-088 said, you can use the Dropbox SDK to download a file, and then you can use that downloaded file data however you need. For reference, to download a file using the Dropbox JavaScript SDK in Node, you would use the filesDownload method.
